One of the primary goals of the Tarlton Law Library's archival and manuscript collection is to collect, preserve, and make available the records of enduring value created by The University of Texas School of Law. The collections also chronicle the outstanding contributions that Law School faculty and alumni have made to the legal institutions of Texas and the United States. The archives contain valuable documents relevant to legal history and the history of legal education in Texas and the United States.
Detailed finding aids for many of our archival collections are available via Texas Archival Resources Online (TARO), a consortium of the major research archives in Texas.
